Nice job in .mis files.

Old pictures. I coudlnt think of a better way to kick off an Dinsdale thread though.

Is this a similar case as the Cort Marshal pending thread?
Was he drunk also?

If thats the case, give the guy some slack, and Capt. find another place to stash the "medicinal alcohol" I think the the crew know where to find it by now.

:rotfl: :rotfl: With the way the crew looks so scary when it's rigged for red we could start a whole thread on "Dinsdales Demons" LOL

I will let Sailor Steve say something about this when he gets back from the bar.

Rockin Robbins · 08-11-07, 10:04 AM

This is why the USN quit recruiting surfers after October 12, 1942. Afterwards, Dinsdale blamed the skeg on the "surfbord" for being too small and not allowing him to cut right off the wave before he reached shore. Ensign Dinsdale was the first and last submarine surfer. After the war he professed to have served as a consultant for Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys, claiming partial credit for "Surfin' Safari," only his working title was "Surfin' Tsunami." If true, thank God saner heads prevailed.

You dang betcha! And Steed should know: Dinsdale is British. There is no "Ensign Dinsdale" in the U.S. Navy.

Ducimus · 08-11-07, 12:22 PM

Bah, America's a melting pot. There's brits, and every other nationality, everywhere. Theres a Dinsdale in there somewhere! Really the whole point of this thread was to try and interject some life into the SH4 version of "Bernard". Oh and just FYI, you'll meet Ensign Dinsdale in Tm1.5

Greentimbers · 08-11-07, 02:17 PM

Yes you will, I met him in his rustbucket with a meatball, sank him and then avoided him to complete my new construction trials

His reply to this was :You Ba*****"

Thanks Ducimus and everyone else who contributed to TM 1.5, it makes SHIV fantastic.

A large number of us expressed a preference for Ensign Parker (borrowed from McHale's Navy) some time ago. At least he acted like a true screw-up.

And if your last sentence is true, I won't be buying TM...

oh, wait...

Ducimus · 08-11-07, 04:24 PM

Meh, at this point, i give up. Primarly because the whole comic character, seems like it will never take off in this forum, regardless of what name is used. so.. screw it, forget i said anything.
and seriously, arguing nationality of a name in the US? PLEEAAASEEEE.

Rockin Robbins · 08-11-07, 04:58 PM

Yes, take a nice British name and pretend that no Brits EVER came to the US. We're going to have to rewrite a lot of history to cover that assumption, but if the Russkies can use footage from the American Titanic movie of 1997 to claim the Arctic regions, I guess we can get to eliminating any British influence on the United States. Might have to hire Dinsdale to get the job done though.

Sorry Duci, I thought you did something really good in this thread. I was having fun. Anyway I proved Dinsdale was a Californian surfer so the jig is up for the Brits.

Sailor Steve · 08-11-07, 05:22 PM

I joke about nationalities, but my real objection is the concept that Dinsdale was never a screw-up in any country. Steed has shown his true origins several times, and it just doesn't work for me. So :p

Snuffy · 08-11-07, 07:11 PM

Well damn!

Sorry I missed this earlier.

Back during the war the army use to show video of Pvt Snafu.
